US Roaming - Talk, Text and 250 MB data with $20 1 GB US Data

[budmic2000]

If I purchase both the 1 GB US Roaming Data addon and the Talk/Text/250 Mb Data plan for my trip to US, will i have 1.25 GB for my trip or is the 1 GB data redundant with the 250 Mb data that comes with the talk/text plan?

I've used the self-service function while at a Walmart in the USA, to get the add-on. Otherwise anywhere with wifi should do the trick as well.

Oh dear...conflicting information. Thanks mimmo_L. So I guess we need further corroboration. I'm gonna go search.

Does the 611 service work when one is in the states roaming with talk? Or does one have to use the self-serve when there?

You have access to either option.

US add-ons are timed and expire 10 days after purchase.  Stacking two add-on both with data will provide a data allotment that is the sum of the two add-ons.  The 10 day duration is still based on the timing in which each are purchased.  If stretching the usage duration out is important, it might be useful to buy the 1GB add-on after the 250MB is used up.  Just top up funds into the account and use 611 to make the add-on purchase when required.

Put another way, yes, 1.25 gb.

You will be able to use what the add on itself includes
